Thanks for taking the time to conduct and then analyze this survey!
What surprised me:
What disappointed me:
And a comment at the end:
Given that LW explicitly tries to exclude politics from discussion (and for reasons I find compelling), what makes you expect differently?
Incorporating LW debiasing techniques into daily life will necessarily be significantly harder than just reading the Sequences, and even those have only been read by a relatively small proportion of posters...
"Time online per week seems plausible from personal experience, but I didn't expect the average to be so high."
I personally spend an average of 50 hours a week online.
That's because, by profession, I am a web-developer.
The percentage of LessWrong members in IT is clearly higher than that of the average population.
I postulate that the higher number of other IT geeks (who, like me, are also likely spending high numbers of hours online per week) is pushing up the average to a level that seems, to you, to be surprisingly high.
